Transit (Gochara) = real-time planetary position relative to the natal chart. Every planet transits continuously through the zodiac, re-triggering natal placements and house cusps.
KP uses transits as the final trigger:
Transiting Significator: The promised event's significator planet (e.g., Venus for marriage) transits the relevant house or aspect point. Transit aspect in KP uses classical Parashara aspects (Mars 4 and 8, Jupiter 5 and 9), not rashi drishti.
Transiting Moon: The Moon transits every sign in 27 days, making it the fastest indicator. When transiting Moon enters the sign of the event's significator or the sign of the relevant house lord, activation occurs. Moon in its own sign (Cancer) or exalted sign (Taurus) enhances activation.
Transiting Dasha Lord: In Vimshottari, each planet's mahadasha is subdivided into antardasha periods ruled by other planets. When the antardasha lord transits the significator's sign or the relevant house cusp, the event is triggered.
Layering: A marriage event promised by Venus occurs when (a) Venus Mahadasha is active, (b) within it, a favorably-timed antardasha is running, (c) transiting Moon enters the 7th house or Venus's sign, (d) Venus itself transits the 7th or aspects it via classical drishti. When all four align, marriage is imminent (within days/weeks).
The timing funnel: Broad window (Venus Mahadasha, ~20 years) → Narrower (Venus Mahadasha + favorable antardasha, ~months) → Narrow (Moon + transit activation, ~weeks) → Precise (conjunction or aspect activation, ~days).
The calculator computes transit positions and identifies transit activation windows. You will use transit data to pinpoint event timing to the week or day.
The confirming filter. Transit is the last of the three stages. Its job is to identify, within a period already established as promising and active, the narrower window in which the event is likely. A transit that supports an event the chart does not promise produces nothing at all.
Which transits to weigh. Jupiter and Saturn move slowly enough to define periods of months or years. The Sun marks windows of days. The Moon, moving through the whole zodiac in about twenty-seven days, allows timing to be narrowed to a day or two when the other conditions are already met.
The method in practice. Check whether the transiting planet is passing through the star and sub of the significators for the matter. Agreement between the transit's sub-lord and the event's significators is what KP treats as confirmation, rather than the simple fact of a planet entering a house.
The failure mode to avoid. Transit-led prediction is the most common way KP is misused, because transits are always available and always suggest something. If you find yourself building a prediction outward from a transit, you have inverted the method and the result is not a KP verdict.
